Business car leasing is not just exclusive to limited and public limited companies. If you’re a partnership or a sole trader, you may also qualify for a business lease agreement.
Flexible business leases are great if you or an employee are in a probationary employment period and you need a vehicle fast, without being tied to any long term contracts. Our turnaround time is typically 2-3 days from the initial enquiry.
How to lease a car through your business

- Your finance documents will then be sent via email for electronic signature.
- Once that’s been completed, your car will then be prepped, valeted and will then be ready to drive!
*We will need to perform a verification check (to prevent fraud) and a credit search on the applicant’s details. Each application received is looked at individually by our team and depending on the outcome, we may ask for a refundable deposit to support your account.
Reclaiming VAT
If you have a VAT registered business and have taken out a business lease agreement, you may be eligible to reclaim 50% back of the VAT from your lease costs.
We cannot help you with your VAT claim directly, but we may be able to point you in the right directions. Our friendly team members will be more than happy to help with any questions you might have.
Company Car Tax
When you lease a car through your business or receive a company car, HMRC will class your leased vehicle as part of your income. As such, you will need to pay Company Car Tax, otherwise known as Benefit in Kind (BiK) tax on your chosen vehicle.
To calculate your Benefit in Kind tax please follow our guide here.
